First Grandbaby Card & Layouts
By Patti Hamill

I have three projects to share with you, first a Birth Announcement card
and then two layouts. Each one has tons of beautiful Green Tara goodies
 on them! These feature one of my favorite color combos, pink and yellow
with some others mixed in as well. Hope you like them.

"She's Here"

I am so happy to share this post with everyone today!!! We became the
 proud Grandparents of a sweet baby girl June 12th!!! And she is
 precious! I made a super sweet and simple announcement card using
 some pastel colored blooms and trims!

Here you can see the blooms that I used, the pretty yellow Primula, 
white Apple Blossom and tiny pink cherry blossom together.
 I added the Mint/Ivory Bud n Bow trim with some dainty
 20m white lace across the bottom.



I made a pocket/frame for the photo and put a tag with the stats inside,
 I added a little bit of the pink/grey raffia as the trim.



"Adore/Cherish Forever"

I also have two layouts to share with you. These are photos taken
 before the baby was born! This first one was a black and white,
 so I chose colors that would accentuate the pic. I used lighter hues
 to match the colors in the paper that I used. It's a subtle look 
that suits the photo.


Here you see some of the embellishments that I used, the little
cherry blossom was the perfect accent to the cluster of blooms,
 I cut out some hearts from the paper also & added some 
liquid pearls to finish it off.


Here you see the gorgeous Laurel silk and organza bloom,
 the soft yellow was perfect. You also see the Tutu blooms 
and more little cherry blossoms.


I added a pretty black flower spray and 10mm lace ribbon on the edge 
of the photo. I also added a bow made from the
 natural Jute ribbon in ivory.


Just a close up of a few more details where I added their name and date, 
with more little liquid pearl accents.



 I added a pretty little yellow Primula bloom and another cherry blossom!
 The little cherry blossoms are just the perfect size to tuck in anywhere
 you need a little filler!!!



"Cherish"

This is another photo taken before the baby. 
This one was bright and colorful, 
so I chose papers and embellishments to match.
 Lots of pretty pink and green on this one!


I just love the pink and yellow blooms together!!! The pink azalea
 is gorgeous with the little yellow bloom and tiny black roses tucked in!
 I also took some white Petals from the Petal pack and spritzed them 
with some pink spray, cut in half, and tucked them behind.


Here you see the pretty pink Bud n Bow trim layered on the black
 lace ribbon. The chippie frame is from Imaginarium Designs.


Here is a close-up of one of the clusters and you see another
 Petal bloom tucked underneath.
